MP window completely reconfigures itself on ARM command #1917

Open Kelly-Foster opened 6 years ago

Kelly-Foster commented 6 years ago

Yesterday I upgraded MP to 1.3.58, build 1.3.6794.30567. Running ArduPlane/ChibiOS latest (yesterday's build). When I press the Arm/Disarm button on the Actions tab, the entire window shrinks to ~1/4 of its original size, font sizes shrink considerably. Can't find a way to get it to revert back to full screen window and normal font. MP remains usable, but tiny features. Only workaround I have found is shut down and restart. Windows 10.

please have a read here https://www.howtogeek.com/175664/how-to-make-the-windows-desktop-work-well-on-high-dpi-displays-and-fix-blurry-fonts/

pretty sure the fix is the part down the bottom ie Override System DPI Scaling for an Application with Blurry Fonts

The most concerning thing about this is that it happens immediately on arming, which seems like a dangerous time for the GCS to change itself

I can confirm that this is happening on low resolution displays as well as high resolution displays.

I was able to solve this behavior months ago, though I am rusty w.r.t. the solution. I started by reading the link Michael posted above, and one of the posts talked about making an app-by-app change to thwart Windows behavior. See this image of the per-app property that I recall solved the reconfig behavior. Let us know if this works for you. I vaguely recall having to find the MP app (and not a link to it) in order to change its attributes.
